You need to use a raised sill plate, so that the entire edge of the door gets sealed against the stops. Use a steel door and use magnetic seals. Those are the cheapest options.

silicone seals are best, they're smoke rated, and stop air exchange...

Do not forget the jam itself. You're only as good as your weakest link....
